Mom and Dad came up to visit. They arrived around noon and stayed until four. I met them at the swing-set and then we walked the rest of the way down to the dining hall. Praise the Lord for camp meals. During this whole time when people are here we are getting to eat our meals down at camp. My sister said at supper just as a general statement, “You’re not going to lose weight here, cause you’re hungry.”

You would think that with the extra walking around and camp activity it’d’ be the opposite with the weight, but I have actually found both of her statements to be true. I’ve thought maybe it was the extra sodium, but anyhow. Mom brought her swim clothes so we took her out on the boats with us. Jess and Hannah had kayaks and Mom and I were on the paddleboard. In the process of her and I switching spots to give her a chance to paddle, we both fell off. It was very funny and made us laugh.

Later in the evening we went down for outdoor chapel. One of my sisters asked if I ever think of my wedding when I see it and I said, “Every time I’m down here”, and I looked around and saw again the back three rows Josh’s dad had made. There isn’t the same need to tell those stories, they can stay inside. Last night I came out of my room and said to the ones still up, “not to be rude, but it’s time to go to bed.”
